I, Weirdo, hereby declare OATH COMPLETE! Aww, it's a baby!  Woof, cutting it too close here. Let me add some better pictures after this. DETEKTUV'S JURNAL    Parts List Vallejo Game Colour: Dark Green Sick Green Goblin Green Moon Yellow Gunmetal Metal Reaper MSP: Rainy Grey Flow Improver Army Painter Warpaints: Pure Red Matt Black Matt White Plate Mail Metal Dark Tone Ink Strong Tone Ink GW Paints: Bleached Bone Runefang Steel Gehenna's Gold Auric Armour Gold In addition I used some sand, local pebbles and some Elmer's PVA glue. Box Art The scheme used here is from the Night Goblin's Regiment box art. While not anything special, I'd like to enter these gobbos as a Themed Group.

I actually took WIP shots for the jurnal and forgot to upload them along with my completed oath. Here they are! Aka: "oh balls the primer cap broke", "I just blue myself" and "green green greeen"    And a couple more of the completed beastie:   The blending and shading doesn't show up nearly as well in the finished photos, I should really build a lightbox! That should hopefully add Detektiv's Jurnal and Double the fun to my stuff.

It's too late, but next time, submit these as a themed group! You too! counterspin posted:OATH COMPLETE! As with Turtle Dad 420, you need to include before and after photos to get credit for conversions. Also: I reccomend you don't use Photobucket as an image host on SA: the bandwith will run out within hours and your photos will stop showing up for everyone. Most goons use Imgur.

Possibly because you're using something called "imagecross.com" for your image hosting. As above, I recommend Imgur for no-bandwith-cap hosting. You'll need to fix this because original oath photos may be referenced later in the year. Weirdo posted:

Weirdo posted:Also are there any rules regarding touching up completed oaths once they have been submitted? Not for points, but just to fix some flaws I noticed for my own sake. Judging is based on your models as they were at the end of the month/in your final Oath Complete post. You're free to do whatever you want to your models after that, including painting them some more, but do not attempt to submit them for judging or edit your Oath Complete post images after the deadline. thiswayliesmadness posted:Last year I wasn't including pictures past the cut off time because you're getting more time than others did. They might do things different this year, but it's always good to post them just so people can see your final product! Correct. We will not include post-deadline photos for judging. You are still free to post them to let people see your work, though! Just don't edit them into your Oath Complete post. In fact, nobody should edit their Oath Complete posts for any reason after the deadline, unless I, krushedgroove, or one of the judges instructs you to do so explicitly; the edit timestamp can otherwise be taken as possible evidence of cheating. We know your edit would probably be innocent but we have to watch out for that kind of shenanigans since there are valuable prizes on the line.

. I will assure you that the models were primed grey and that the white base is an additional step, I only included it as I lost all my other images. What I will do is an edge highlight on the boots and armor so that I will use the current COMPLETE images was a WIP and resubmit my OATH COMPLETE with the edge highlights before the deadline tonight.

Double-posting just to say PLEASE CHECK YOUR POINTS! Go HERE and check that I credited you for everything you should have. I've just gone through and made sure everyone I think qualifies for Double the Fun has the points even if you forgot to claim it. I found an error in the spreadsheet (on the one-time points page a user row got moved somehow) so it's possible I hosed up someone's credit for a thing some time between when that error happened and when it got fixed. So please check all the sheets that are relevant: May 2013 shows the monthly points you earned, Bi-Monthly Prizes has links to Themed Group entries, One-Time Bonuses has all the points for one-time and year-end bonuses including Aww a Baby and the bonus challenges, Alternate Universe has your oathed and completed Alt Universe oaths, and Totals should have your points total in the red column. Before judging, Pash is still our monthly points leader! We will do prizes after the judging and after everyone has a chance to correct any errors in the bookkeeping. As of right now, I show 125 valid oaths and 105 completed oaths! Just 20 oathbreakers is a pretty good percentage. Last year, the first month had 121 oaths and 97 completed oaths, so we're doing better! Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jun 1, 2013 |

OATH COMPLETE! So I spent the last two days painting and have barely checked the forums, so apparently I missed the new deadline, thinking it was midnight. But whatever, I'm gonna post 'em anyhow.     [tIMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/2ry4paq.jpg[t/IMG]        Additional colors on the pistoleer include Bloodstone Brown, Molten Bronze, Cold Iron, and Hammerfall Khaki. Additional colors for the elf are Cold Iron, Skorne Red highlight, Menoth White highlight, Umbral Umber, and Morrow White. Additional colors for the dwarf include Brass Balls, Solid Gold, Quicksilver mixed with Astronomicon Grey, and a very small bit of Umbral Umber. All figures are based with a combination of Woodland Scenics ballast in Medium grade, along with... well, I don't really know how to describe it. Some Wal-Mart's have this home decorating section and in that section you can find these plastic bags full of rocks and seashells. I bought of ton of them and use them to base. They're pretty spiffy, just a bunch of shale chips and quartz, but I like them. All green stuff was sculpted using a Polyform 5-in-1 Sculpting Tool, on sale for $15 from Joann Fabrics. GET THIS. It is the best sculpting tool I've found. The maces on the elf are from two Reaper figures I had laying around. My conversion on them sucks, but it was my first time, so meh. I'll know better next time. Hat on the pistoleer was done using the recipe in the last No Quarter, it is hilariously too big, but I like it. Dwarven ushanka was just me loving around, but it came out okay. Blade is from one of the Reaper Weapons Packs. I'll post a better picture tomorrow when the sun is shining into my light box. It's 9:30 and I just finished.

I've definitely got a themed group coming for June so no worries there. I'm going to go ahead and put in a plea to revert oath submission deadlines back to midnight in whatever time zone people are in. Evenings are generally the only time I get to do nerd hobby stuff, and I doubt I'm the only one in the same boat. 8:00 p.m. is pretty rough and essentially shorts me a day of hobby time. Just a thought. If anyone else agrees feel free to say so.

Yes, you absolutely can start Oathing for June, folks! We don't know what this month's special Detektuv's Jurnal will be, but if you're confident you can work that into whatever you're painting - or add models to do so - or don't care about those 2 points - then you should go right on ahead. In fact, I think I'll just go and start the June spreadsheet.

I haven't painted anything since my teens, but am now staring at collections of 40k Death Korps and tanks, Infinity, Battlefleet gothic and McVey resins. I've prevaricated for years and figure that taking part in the monthly oath might be the only way I get started. With that in mind, for spaceships (as they're the least intimidating minis on that list to start painting), are they okay to oath given lack of bases to flock/sand?

That sounds a bit harsh, I know everyone has family/work things that come up, but remember that unless you're going big guns for the Grand Prizes, there's no real consequences for failing to complete an oath (imagine if we made everyone put in  and if they failed their oath their money went in their name towards a cause they really hated, like the GW Bush library, PETA or buying Dawkin's next book for a school somewhere?).Tadhg posted:e: Also eager to start on the next month, but am waiting for the next theme!

 Oh noes! What ‘av we done! I only took a step through da lady’s funny doorway and we only gone an’ arrived in the middle of a bloody great battle! Dese crazy humies and bloody pointy-eared freaks are ‘aving some sort of argument and de bullets are going right through me ‘at and coat! Oi only just washed dese! Roight. Down to bizness. Duz it look like I'll find da ring or wot ever round 'ere? Beakies overe dere... poncies over dere... Nope, don't fink it's 'ere! Time to get sumware else! Oi looked about for a place to lay lo - Oi'd neva run from a scrap uzually, but I 'ad work to do and Beakies are maybe my least fave boyz to fite. Looking down to check me gear, oi noticed me arm was on da ground and not on me elbow where it should be. 'Dat's funny,' I thort, 'Oi'm sure dat was attached a minit ago.' To me right were sum poncie boyz in bloo, wiv a fancy no-eyed red lad among dem. Dere nasty lil gunz sendin zippy choppy bitz all over da place. Oi laffed dat dey couldn seem to 'it me agane til oi looked over me uvver shoulder and saw sum of da mega-wotsit beakies wiv shields an dat. Oi decided to take me chances wiv da poncy boyz. Pickin' up me arm oi Waaagh!ed in dere direktion, firin me slugga left an' rite. Oi krumped into dere lines just next to da blind red wun. 'Dis wun'll be eezy,' oi thort, 'da poor sap kan't see!' Oi swung me arms round but before oi could knock 'is ruddy block off 'e turned slightly and stretched out 'is 'and. A great white blast smacked me over and sent me flyin', and before oi blacked out oi fort ... 'Dat's funny... Takin' an awful long time to land...' This month’s theme: Battle Damage - let’s see what your model looks like with a bit of scarring! This could be as simple as painting on some black dots as bullet holes or a red line as a facial scar, but we’d really like to see some effort put into some painting effects that take it up a notch or three. For example, 3D-effect claw marks, crash damage on a vehicle, scrapes and wounding or damage from various weapons. Don’t go overboard! because as we know ‘a little can go a long way’, but it should be obvious in your final picture what the battle damage is. If you want to go crazy, do some conversion or sculpting work, but as always the focus should be on the painting - unless you're going all-out for the conversion contest!
